Freshly baked pizza, anyone?

What pizza toppings do you like best? (full photo here)

I love green bell peppers, onions, lots of cheese, tomatoes, pineapple and olives. Yum!

I wrote my Food Friday entry today because we will be a bit busy tomorrow with school-related activities.

I had a thick slice of medium rare steak last Wednesday night during the annual Christmas party held at the manse of the owner of the intervention center where I work (part-time). We had this kind of food last year, same menu, same plate, please click here.

I chose the medium rare variety between the two types they were offering, had it smothered with a rich mushroom gravy sauce. The thick slice took over half the space of the plate! And to think that this was a big plate 😀

On my plate are buttered whole corn kernels, 2-3 T of garlic rice (can’t resist) and a little pasta carbonara.

I wanted to just put the steak on one plate and the others on a different plate but I didn’t. It would be difficult to walk back from the buffet table to our table holding two plates. Not to mention I would probably look like too hungry (which incidentally I was, lol!).

I wasn’t able to get good photos of my dinner plate because those sitting on with me on our table were giving me weird looks like I have gone insane taking photos of my food! 😀

If I have to eat dinners like this until the holidays are over, I might have to get me some Anoretix 😀

Red and Green Bell Peppers

Red and green are the colors of Christmas. Maybe this is the reason why these bell peppers are priced sky high during the season. I’m stumped really why this is so.

I love green bell peppers, just the smell alone makes me feel wonderful, I don’t know why. That and onions together. Weird huh? Maybe because I love these on my pizza.

On the other hand, it would be nice to have area rugs with these colors to make the house more Christmas-y and festive which reminds me that I still have to change the throw pillows and use the Christmas designs 🙂

Filipinos know this food just by its scent alone.

When I was cropping the photo, I asked my son if he knew what this food is. He said the name of a mall near where we live where I had this as well as the name of the dish, and he was right on both counts. Bangus Belly from Reyes Barbecue.

I like this better than other food eaten with rice, even before I had to lay off on meats, especially with the fat attached.

What would you put in the soy sauce? Calamansi juice? Chili?

I prefer this eaten with fresh raw tomatoes 😉

Nakakamay pa.

With Christmas around the corner, people prepare so many things to welcome the season.

Shopping for gifts, preparing food to be shared by family and friends at gatherings, decorating the house with holiday trimmings, we definitely do not scrimp when this time of the year is here.

After the season is over, what then?

Would people look back and spend time mulling what went right and what did not?

Can people think that perhaps they shouldn’t have eaten that much so they look much better in greeting the new year?

Would Trimspa help them in getting their shapes back?

We promise ourselves to do better next year.

I remember a favorite childhood song, “When Christmas time is over and presents are away, don’t be sad. There’ll be so much to treasure about this Christmas Eve and the fun we had…”

Whatever will transpire during this coming special holiday, it is important that people recognize the reason for the season: the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Greenwich Overloadeded Pizza.

Tastes good though it feels weird buying that kind of pizza and paying more OR buying this kind of pizza and paying less than its competition. And I am talking about just for a slice.

On the other hand, I am used to paying less with their food offerings but less the taste and toppings 😀

I’m rambling. Ok,  its yummy but lacks that certain smell from other pizza offerings from other stores.
